Bill de Blasio Sworn in as Mayor Wearing Rothmans

Yesterday, while you were hungover in bed watching movies and eating greasy delivery, New York City welcomed Bill de Blasio as mayor. The politician was sworn-in by Bill Clinton as the 109th person to watch over the metropolis and its eight million residents. Whereas former mayor Michael Bloomberg reportedly had his suits custom-made by the tailor Martin Greenfield in Brooklyn, de Blasio kept things a little more humble by going with an off-the-rack outfit from Manhattan retailer Rothmans. Hardly a downmarket choice, but the decision keeps in line with his message of a city that offers more opportunity to working-class citizens. But before he can tackle that, he'll have to take on the blizzard that's currently headed towards the city.
